Air Quality Sensor
This donation allows us to measure temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, carbon dioxide concentrations, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds and will be used to make real-time air quality decisions during summer wildfires and track seasonal vegetation health. The data is publicly visible on Air Quality Egg Website: https://airqualityegg.com/portal/
$2,500
Basic Weather Station
This donation will allow us to deploy an additional weather station. Each weather station measures temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and relative direction, and precipitation, which is then used to supplement the existing Northeast Weather Association weather station network. Collected data is used for research and New York State integrated pest management. The data will be accessible on the NEWA website: https://newa.cornell.edu/
$2,500
GOLD
- Representatives from your organization or company have the option of joining priority meetings with team members to discuss our projects. - CU GeoData can host information sessions that are open to members and the greater Cornell community.
